two guys who are part of the conventional wisdom in washington. they have written tremendous things. they wrote a whole book. these are the points that i love. they said if you want to use a strategy of "i'm going to lie all the time" when you have the false equivalence of the mainstream press you get away with it. their philosophy is supposed to be that they represent the middle class so they don't have to lie as much as the guys who only rich the very, represent the very, very rich. if you call it even every time you're going to let the republicans get away with it. you think they don't know that? if voters are going to be able to hold accountable political figures they got to know what is going on. and if the story you're telling repeatedly that they're all to blame, they're equally to blame then you're really doing a disservice to the voters and not doing what journalism is supposed to do. that's exactly right. if you call it 50/50 you're lying to your audience. you're helping the republicans lie to the voters. what you need to do is to be obj
